This course is designed to simulate a real production studio environment. Students work together to produce a high-quality short film. Together, students combine their ideas into a cohesive theme, using skill sets learned in previous courses. Students’ collective knowledge is used to develop an idea, write the script, produce a storyboard, and design the look and feel of the animation. Students experience the importance of successful leadership and team member interactions. At the conclusion of the course, students will have completed the pre-production necessary for AN 4445 Collective 2. Prerequisite: AN 3840 2-D/3-D Animation Thesis 2
